“…Of these, 11 had unilateral symptoms, 9 had tinnitus, and of the 4 who had BAEPs during the acute episode, all showed resolution or improvement of BAEP abnormalities afterwards. Daugherty et al [11] reported nine MS patients with unilateral (7/9) or bilateral (2/9) hearing loss all of whom showed abnormal BAEPs consistent with central dysfunction and in two cases also suggestive of involvement of more caudal segments of the auditory pathway such as the ventral cochlear nucleus or the acoustic nerve.…”

“…In our case, the data showed a normal wave I with an absence of subsequent peaks, and this suggested the lesion of the cochlear neucleus. Daugherty et al [8] have reported two cases of improvement in ABR accompanied by clinical remission. In our case.…”

A case of multiple sclerosis with acute deafness and dizziness as initial symptoms was reported. The pure-tone audiometry showed a high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss; in the auditory evoked brain stem response (ABR), the left side had a normal peak I with an absence of subsequent peaks. In the equilibrium test, Bruns’ nystagmus was present, and the caloric test demonstrated CP on the left side. MRI disclosed a high-intensity lesion in the cerebellar peduncle (T2-weighted image). With steroid therapy, the deafness and dizziness improved within 10 days, although, after 20 days, the findings of the ABR and caloric test remained unchanged.

“…In the literature there are several reports of MS-related hearing threshold deficits. These MS-related hearing losses occur when the MS involves the peripheral and brainstem auditory pathway (Jabbari et al, 1982;Daugherty et al, 1983;Shea and Brackmann, 1987;Franklin et al, 1989;Drulović et al, 1993;Bergamaschi et al, 1997;Oh et al, 2008). However, a well-controlled study of pure-tone thresholds concluded that they were not elevated in chronic MS.…”
